In Chapter 5, someone asks if any escape pods were left on the Ishumura and the player is told all the escape pods launched empty already. However this is not possible, since in Dead Space (VG) which takes place immediately upon the end of this game, an intact escape pod is still on board the ship not too far from the bridge. It's the pod that Hammond launched with a necromorph inside it. See more »

User Reviews

The Wii motion controller inspired many developers to take advantage of the console with rail-shooter spin-offs of games that were successful on the PlayStation and Xbox. Dead Space, the chilling 2008 survival horror got its very own rail-shooter in the form of Dead Space: Extraction. It's not a great game, and you'll forget about it soon after playing, but it fills the time if you have some to spare.

The story takes place before the events of the first game aboard the Ishimura spaceship and switches the POV from about 5 different characters. There's not much atmosphere, and the lack of free movement can be quite frustrating. All you have to do is point and shoot at monsters, while frequently waiting through very long, unskippable dialogue scenes. It can get quite tedious and deters from playing levels again and again.

It's just not fast enough, or at least it's not fast in the right places. While the main series has a loyal fan following I can't see this disposable spin-off winning over any non-fans. I did find the character of Lexine to be impossible cute though.
